Some will say that
Steampunk is Victorian Science fiction, the age where the technological
revolution happened not in the 20th Century but in the 19th, with lighter than
airships common as well as space faring vessels plying their trade between
Earth and Mars. The age where ray guns, jet packs plasma generators and steam
turbines are seen on a daily basis. Fantastical creatures such as Vampires
and ghosts are uncommon (But are occasionally found) . Steampunk means different things to different
people. For some it’s a way of life, to me
its fun.

To me the fun is the way
that I spend time with like minded people. All smartly dressed and showing
impeccable manners and having a love of everything steampowered as well as the love of Tea and cake.

This site is a bit of fun
and has been designed for like minded people who want to join together and be
something a little different.

What is the RDC?

In the UK the Steampunk
community has a huge diversity, especially in the costuming and
characterization front.

We have Gentlemen and
Ladies, Military types (from all branches of Her Majesties Empire as well Imperial German (Prussian/Bavians) Medical
characters, the occasional mad scientist, Vampire hunters as well as
Adventurer/privateer types. Oh yes and the Airship Pirates. (Loads and loads of
Airship Pirates) all are present.

For
those people who want to be aviators and not just pirates we have formed the
RDC to give a focus and a home so we can get together dress smartly taunt the
pirate! Huzzah!!

HOW DO I RECOGNISE A RDC
MEMBER?

The General Appearance of a
member of the RDC is Khaki green uniforms, Sam Brown belt, personal firearm
(Slug thrower or Ray gun)...really any smart outfit that makes the character
stand out from the Pirate! Lord Flashart is a great example of how a member of
the RDC should look. All uniforms should carry the ROYAL
DIRIGIBLE CORPS shoulder title and the brass RDC collar badges.

In the future, as more
people join this site will expand with details of future meets and missions
against the dreaded Air pirates.
